[ McCoy had seen the younger version of himself and Jim off an hour or so ago. Going on about how Holly had a mission for them, he didn't bother himself too much with what had been happening. He didn't give a damn what the computer was having Jim do. He - another version of him - was there to babysit him. He'd be fine

[His mind was like an ion storm and his limbs were beginning to protest after dragging Spock back to the sickbay. He shot a look at the Commander and blurted out with a tenor of desperation:]

Potassium iodide.

[ Kirk helped the younger Bones pull Spock onto the back medical bed. He watched as the older Bones didn't protest that the younger was bossing him around. No, instead he merely went as ordered. He slowly stepped back to the main part of Sickbay, in a haze. How he managed to get this far, he didn't know. How Bones thought he was going to bring Spock back, he didn't know.

Instead he slid into a chair that was there and sat. Watching... but not registering. ]

[ ambassador spock knew very well what was happening, but had decided down on that deck when events were already in motion that he would not say anything. he eyed the doctor, knowing just why he was wearing such an expression, but tore his gaze away to focus on jim. his pain...he understood that, as well. it was he sort of broken look that had been on the face of the kirk from his timeline when he'd died, too. it was a look spock would never forget.

moving to stand next to the young captain, spock placed a hand on the man's shoulder in an odd, subtle gesture of comfort. it was all he could do since he did not trust himself to speak just yet. ]

Well what the hell happened? You sure of hell weren't picking daisies!

[ leave it to mccoy to attempt to lighten a situation. he knew damn well what was happening. the younger spock was dead. had been for no more than minutes, it appeared. handing over the potassium iodide, he scanned the younger vulcan's body. his eyes snapped up to the younger version of himself. ]

My God, radiation?! How the hell do you plan on doing that? You'll have to rejuvenate all the god damn cells in his body!

[ northern sickbay. northern sickbay. the destination echoed in the back of her mind as her legs carried her there. she wasn't doing any navigating, however, as her muscle memory was doing the majority of the guiding, leading her straight to the door when she couldn't remember the majority of the trip. why? why him? why did it have to be him, out of all of the people on this goddamn station, why did it have to be him that was in this position?

stopping dead in the doorway, uhura sank against the door frame, afraid to take another step on her own for fear of what she would find inside. why did it have to be him? ]

[ sarek had felt it, the feel of a vulcan mind dying was unmistakable even in this place. and considering the only other vulcan individuals here other than himself were those whom would be his sons, the realization was more than a little...disconcerting. initially, sarek was unsure why he would have cared. a technicality of blood did not make any individual his son in all rights and manners that would have been considered. and yet, after already having lost one family, sarek could not contemplating losing another. with family one's logic was always unsure, and at the moment, it wasn't on the stablest of ground.

halting his approach to sickbay (the logical place that one would bring an individual in such a condition) as he spotted the young woman leaning against the entrance supports, sarek just held back. information and an explanation would come in time. ]

[canyonsiniowa]

[ he waited in the small office that was inside of sickbay. bones had told him to use it in order to talk to spock's next of kin... except the ambassador wished to speak with his mother. leaving uhura and sarek. though rumors were that sarek was not of their time... would he even care?

kirk looked up at the doors to the office and waited. ]

[councillorsarek]

[ stepping closer to the door, sarek spared the young woman a glance, impassive as it was, before looking towards the small staff inside to direct him to the proper area. as the office was pointed out, sarek turned his gaze back to the woman before nodding for her to follow him. there was no point in forcing the captain (for he assumed had deducted it would be the captain) to give this explanation more than once.

crossing over to the small office, sarek paused, holding the door for the young woman to enter before him. as soon as they were all present, sarek turned his attention towards kirk. young and yet still a higher ranking than he remembered. the differences in their realities were as fascinating as they were troubling. ]

Unless we are waiting for more members of our party to assemble, Captain, I do believe that you can now explain.

[ Amanda stayed towards the entrance of Northern Sickbay. She had been called there but had no idea as to why. Her hands folded in front of her she watched the various McCoys in the back before taking her eyes to the scenery around them. ]

[preferablynot]

[ it was with a heavy, reluctant sigh that spock left the young captain's side to approach his mother. it was something he told jim he'd do and something he knew he needed to do. ]

Mother.

[veryfortunate]

Spock. What has happened?

[ to her knowledge the station had come to an odd sense of normality since the departure of the whale. and yet here there was fretting in the back. ]
